Haliclystus

	Haliclystus ''Haliclystus'' is a genus of stalked jellyfish that contains 11 species and one nomen nudum (''Haliclystus sanjuanensis''). It is the largest genus in the order Stauromedusae. Members of this genus are found in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern oceans. Two members of this genus, ''Haliclystus kerguelensis'' and ''Haliclystus antarcticus'', are found in the Southern hemisphere only. The remaining 9 members are found in the Northern hemisphere only.http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2010/f/zt02518p059.pdf Species in this genus have four longitudinal planes of symmetry. They have eight arms which are tipped with clusters of secondary tentacles. The number of these secondary tentacles is reported to vary across the different species. Species in this genus also have eight large pads known as anchors located between the arms. These vary in size and shape and currently play in important role in differentiating one species from another. Some, but not all, species ...

	Haliclystus Auricula ''Haliclystus auricula'' is a stalked jellyfish found in the Northern hemisphere. It is the type species for its genus. Name In 2010, Natural England, ''The Guardian'' and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History The Oxford University Museum of Natural History, sometimes known simply as the Oxford University Museum or OUMNH, is a museum displaying many of the University of Oxford's natural history specimens, located on Parks Road in Oxford, England. It ... ran a competition asking members of the public to provide a common name for this species. The name "Kaleidoscope Jellyfish," submitted by Kepler Petzall, was eventually chosen. Runner-up names included Fractal flower jellyfish and Mermaid's trumpet jellyfish. Description ''H. auricula'' is 2-2.5 cm tall with the stalk accounting for half of the height of the organism. The remainder of the organism is shaped like a funnel, the colour of which varies across the species from grey/green to red/brown. It has ei ...

	Haliclystus Octoradiatus ''Haliclystus octoradiatus'', common name spotted kaleidoscope jellyfish, is a stalked jellyfish in the family Lucernariidae. Description The bell of large specimens may be 25mm in diameter. However, specimens with a 10mm bell is far more commonly observed. The colour varies greatly. Specimens that appear quite opaque may be orange-brown, olive-brown, red, orange, or may appear locally green. Specimens that seem more translucent may appear brown and aqua, or almost white in colour. The morphology and colour of the calyx may differ greatly from specimen to specimen. The primary tentacles (anchors) may range in appearance from orbicular to suborbicular. The length of the calyx and stalk are approximately the same. There are 30 to 120 secondary tentacles arranged in clusters at the tip of the arms. Each conad contains 10 to 70 gonadal sacs. This species is commonly mis-recorded as ''Haliclystus auricula''. It was separated from this species in 1997. Although similar in appearance ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Stauromedusae Stauromedusae are the stalked jellyfishes. They are the sole living members of the class Staurozoa and belong to the medusozoa subphylum of Cnidaria. They are unique among medusa jellyfish in that they do not have an alternation of polyp and medusa life cycle phases, but are instead interpreted as an attached medusa stage. With a lifestyle more resembling that of polypoid forms. They have a generally trumpet-shaped body, oriented upside-down in comparison with other jellyfish, with the tentacles projecting upwards, and the stalk located in the centre of the umbrella. Members of this class are commonly found in relatively cold waters, close to the shoreline. Sexually mature stauromedusae free-spawn eggs or sperm, which fertilize in the sea and form a creeping, unciliated planula larva. The larvae crawl across the sea floor and find a suitable place, attaching themselves typically to rock or algae, where they eventually develop into a new, attached stauromedusa.
